The Unsleeping Witch (Gingerbread Witch #2)

by Alexandra Overy (Author)

Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade

Sleeping Beauty is about to wake up. Maud may be made of gingerbread--plus a spark of magic--but she's a real witch! Even if she's still learning and has a habit of making messes...and might have accidentally unleashed the hundred-year-old Class IV sleeping curse that envelops a princess's bramble-covered castle. Oops.

Maud has her friends Gretel, Ludo, and Nuss the hazelnut mousse squirrel to help her fix this. But it won't be easy to find the sleeping princess's true love, and the curse might end up being the least of their problems...
